The locals call this “paradiso”,
and quite rightly so. The Residence Le Capanne is well worth the
steep and winding climb for its spectacular, unbeatable views
extending to Pisa.
From the pool and flowered terraces, Pisa can clearly by seen
in the middle of the plain below and it is just 4 km down to the
little spa town of San Giuliano Terme.
Restoration of this 17th C villa, and its cleverly converted five
adjacent buildings, provide varied accommodation and the setting
for a delightful restaurant. Stone steps link pathways and apartments
to the main courtyard of the villa, with a parking area above.
We are able to offer two self-catering apartments, both with a
slightly different aspect.
Simply furnished, they are equipped with kitchenettes designed
for only light holiday cooking, to encourage guests to take full
advance of the restaurant. When this is closed, a pizzeria opens
in the courtyard below.
Apart from the obvious attraction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
it is also easy to make day trips to Lucca, Florence or Siena.
The nearest good sandy beaches are to the found at Tirrenia,
a short drive from Pisa. The splendid nature reserve of San
Rossore, which stretches along the coast from Pisa to Livorno,
is also well worth a visit-although check with the local tourist
offices for opening times, which are restricted.
